    Which oil is best for cooking during weight loss.

    Reply
    • Payal Banka

      October 23, 2017 at 11:55 pm

      You can use a combination of Mufa and Pufa type of oil . This is true not only in case of weight loss , but for a healthy heart as well.

      Mufa oils include – groundnut oil , mustard oil , olive oil

      Pufa oil includes – all vegetable oils like rice bran oil , sunflower oil , safflower oil , cotton seed oil , etc .

      Ideally you should mix 1 type of mufa with 1 type of pufa oil . if you dont like the blended taste , you can keep these 2 oils seperately , and use them alternately for your vegetable preps .

      saturated fats like (SFA) – butter , ghee , coconut oil can be taken 1 – 2 tsp in a day . the quantity depends on your total oil consumption.

      The ratio OF MUFA :PUFA :SFA in your daily routine should be 1:1:1

      Hi Fara,

      yes you can use these flours for roti . both oats and whole wheat flour are equally good and nutritious . oats flour will have slightly higher fiber content , but they are almost similar in nitrition.

          bajra , jowar and ragi , gives good carbs . so the flour is healthy , but is not a keto flour , if that is what you are asking.

      Hi Shathni ,

      They are healthy carbs . complex carbs and rich in fiber too. the resistant starch in maize works as a fiber and hence most of the carb is excreated from the body without being absorbed.
